Grades of “Incomplete” The current University policy concerning incomplete grades will be followed in this course. Incomplete grades are given only in situations where a student has successfully complete most of the course requirements and unexpected emergencies (illness, accident, family emergency) prevent the student from completing final course requirements by the end of the semester. Your instructor is the final authority on whether you qualify for an incomplete. Incomplete work must be finished by the deadline indicated on the Incomplete or the “I” will not receive a sympathetic audience from the instructor.
End of Term Pleas and Appeals
All students will be awarded the grade you earn. Please do not embarrass me or yourself with end-of-term appeals for a higher grade based upon non-course criteria. Asking for a higher grade because of factors extraneous to your performance in the course is unethical and unfair to other students, and it will not receive a sympathetic audience from the instructor.
Make-Ups/Extra Credit
Make-up Exams Policy
Make up examinations will be administered strictly according to University policy governing authorized events and activities. All other make-up examinations are at the sole discretion of the instructor and will be given only rarely and only in extraordinary circumstances.
Extra Credit Policy
I do not offer “typical” extra credit opportunities in this class. I do; however, award extra points when students perform extraordinarily on final project. For instance, if you go above and beyond expectations or produce work that stands out for quality and effort as compared to your peers, I will provide you with up to 10% extra points on the final project. Thus, some of you will see that you have earned 220 points on an assignment that is worth only 200 points.
